Hmm, not exactly. I had an extensive talk with Mike Muizebelt this morning (the guy who did one of the K3 III reviews on You-Tube) What is included is a wall-plug type charger unit with USB-C cable, that plugs into the camera. The actual battery charge-circuitry is now built-in to the camera itself, which is an advantage in some situations, but less so in others (when wanting to charge a second battery for example). An external charger is still available as a separate purchase, and the latest versions are USB-C based as well, with a fast charging unit, and a separate battery-charger module that uses USB-C as its power input (from that fast charger unit, or any other USB-C power source) (You can buy the USB-C powered battery charger separate as well, much cheaper without the fast-charge power-brick) BTW: Mike told me the thing that blew him away was fast and accurate focusing. AF-S as wel as AF-C (tracking) (Note that he IS a Pentax ambassador, so slightly biassed I guess, but I’ll take his word for it on any day) > > On 3/31/2021 3:43 AM, Toine wrote: >> 2000 That hurts! >> The most amazing part: a battery charger is not included.
